How Dropast Handles Currency and Exchange Rates
Dropast displays product costs from Chinese marketplaces like Taobao, Tmall, and 1688 in RMB (Chinese Yuan) and automatically converts them into your Shopify store's currency. This ensures you see localized pricing that matches your store settings — without any manual adjustments.
💱 How Currency Conversion Works
- Dropast fetches product prices in RMB (the original currency of the marketplace).
- It then automatically converts RMB to the currency set in your Shopify store, using a mid-market exchange rate.
- This allows for seamless price visibility and better control over your store pricing strategy.

If you want Dropast to display a different currency:
